The new FortiDB 4.0 MR4 operating software introduces a host of major enhancements that deliver new analytics and reporting capabilities, audit and policy extensions and advanced data collection methods. It also features real-time connection blocking and powerful usability improvements that make FortiDB appliances among the easiest to deploy in the industry. The combination of these new capabilities can substantially reduce deployment time, total cost of ownership and the complexities associated with protecting confidential data in databases and applications. FortiDB 4.0 MR4 adds these new features to its sophisticated database activity monitoring and advanced reporting that automatically document an organization’s policy compliance with internally-developed policies as well as government or industry regulations such as PCI-DSS, SOX, Basel II, GLBA and HIPAA.

“Protecting sensitive database and application assets is among the most strategic security and compliance requirements organizations face today,” said Patrick Bedwell, vice president of product marketing at Fortinet. “With the release of our FortiDB 4.0 MR4 operating software, we’re providing enterprises, service providers and regulated organizations with some of the most effective database security and compliance capabilities in the industry. Our customers have made it clear that deployment simplicity, lower TCO and real-time protection are key requirements. We’re delivering all three with this major software release”.
